Alliance Raid Roulette

[Voidmage]

Alliance raid depends on a few things, but the biggest one is probably that people don't go out of their way to unlock the extra alliance raids. Since they aren't an MSQ requirement in the same way as CT, some just genuinely aren't aware that they exist. I personally think that's a leading factor in why CT pops so much since they supposedly fixed the cheese strat of dropping ilvl to force CT to spawn.

I really don’t get why they don’t make all of them MSQ needed.
They all give lore for the world (Ivalice), pick up old stories (Mhachi) or are even a kind of continuation of the MSQ (the twelve). Nier is the only one I have doubts but even that gives us dwarf lore.

The writers would have also a much easier time not having to dance around them being done or not.

They aren’t even hard and at some point a game can expect people to actually play the game if they want to experience the story.

The entire alliance roulette problems would be solved with that more or less.

They don't necessarily need to do that, but they could make it so you are required to have all the alliance raids for your level unlocked (like they've done with the ilvl cheese strat having requirements being based on your level). That would likely force people to unlock them, which is the end-goal here.
